thank you all

Appleton

I'm very grateful for the warm reception I received at Lawrence University, where I spoke on Thursday. Five viola students — Maija Anstine, Emma Cifrino, Leslie Fox, Chris Mlynarczyk, and Sarah Vosper — went to the trouble of learning an arrangement of Dido's Lament, which they played during my Chacona lecture. I'm enjoying a couple of CDs of music of Alec Wilder; they were given to me by Robert Levy, a Lawrence emeritus professor and a longtime supporter of the Wilder cause. I have two more appearances coming up: a reading at powerHouse Arena, in DUMBO, on Tuesday, Nov. 8; and a lecture at Boston College on Wednesday, Nov. 16.
